Open Data. Why?
Public sector staff recognize the importance of open data, but many are unsure how to use it. (Guardian Research, June 2013)
Open Data Controversial for Local Governments
Open Data chances are unrevealed for governments.
Open Data Interpretation Illiteracy but curiosity (something big, exciting with Open Data is coming)
Who to choose? What to choose?-Linked Data -Data Visualization -Data Mining are unexploited
Loc Gov need a helping hand and collaboration on Open Data
Vendor Fusion
Vocabularies Policy Makers
“What is the evidence that we should release datasets?”
“How many start ups have been created since we launched the first datasets”
“Can Open Data repair a market failure, inefficiency?”
Current open data catalysts (non-proprietary*)

Quest for Open Data Impact, Evidences
Precarious Open Data Policies
Connected24 hours
• Citizens
• Opening, exchanging data between departments of the city hall
• External: hackathons still missing in Open Data scenario’s-Big Data Strategy-Meaning behind data (visualization, mining)-Interoperability of open data based apps-Civic App Store
Injecting Open Data best practices through EU projects to
cities
1. EU Open Data Fuel Project: Code for Europe- WORKING WITH CODERS
Code for Europe: Civic Apps & Commons
The Future - Commons
2. EU project: Open Cities
Open Data Cataloge : Nearly 400 datasets
• Strong SME’s, hackers’, coders • Business Accelerators• Innovation Intermediaries >>• EU Projects• Open minded Local Gov• Participatory citizens
Amsterdam – Strong Open Data Ecosystem partners

Open Data Evolution in Amsterdam
• In 2010 hackers, innovation labs and SME’s, web entrepreneurs requested the first datasets
• 28 datasets open in 2011• Nearly 400 datasets open in 2014 (most popular geo and
transport data)• 2010 – 0 euro budget• 2013 – 1,5 M euro budget • In 2013 Open Data Program – by Amsterdam Economic Board• 3 EU projects that promote the value of Open Data
Best Practices Open Data
• 30 apps have been launched (face recognition by portrays)
• High educational impact• Positive PR for the museum• Reach of new younger
target group
https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/api -110.000 high resolution photo’s of the collection
Rijksmuseum API
Community: Appsterdam- 2600 developers have joined up
• Linked data & API , commitment from city halls • User feed-back on Open Data.• City Challenges with Open Calls, awards.• Reused codes between cities for better civic apps.• Value of data-mining, visualization• Beyond Opening Up -> Interpretation
Open Data Observations
Open Data Observations1. Open Data Catalysts are strongly dependent on
external financing and networking - Liberate open data agents!
2. Vocabularies match between policy makers and open data catalyst
3. Produce user cases to discover the enormous underexploited value of data
4. Watch out with corporate Big Data providers5. Encourage cities to move toward Commons, peer
reviewed open data vendors
